This animation shows a 3D view of one of the first heavy ion collisions recorded at the Large Hadron Collider in CERN. This event was seen on 7th November 2010 when Lead nuclei collided with a total energy of 574 TeV leaving a shower of thousands of particles.

  • amazing .. thanks for sharing .. god bless

  • The quarks in the protons and neutrons smash apart into smaller particles, they only last a very short amount of time before they rebond in a more stable state (back into quarks, and then back into protons and neutrons. "particles" don't exist the way people thought they did, particles are a collection of standing waves that generate certain properties, when you bust them up, they either realign, or cancel out and become energy. that's how there are so many "sparks"

  • @tetekofa

    Lots of new particles get created from the initial kinetic energy, then those decay into many others.

  • So, how many "subatomic" particals are there in a heavy ion? The images on those monitors imply that there must be thousands. How can this be?

  • just need to build an outer ring detector as well.

  • I'm not a nuclear physicist but I can see from a mile away that the detector was way too small, so basically a good part of the results was lost.

  • The original idea, as I recall, was to produce the elusive z boson in quantity, so as to examine possible decay into some particle representing the color forces that bind quarks. Did I miss something?

  • can't wait to see how this effects our knowledge of science now =)

  • Coooooooooool
